Britney Spears may be commanding folk to ‘Work B*tch’ with her new single, yet after years of disappointment, fans and critics alike are angling for her to do just that at her upcoming Las Vegas residency.

Beyond the questionable topic of her dancing (or lack-there-of), the Pop force has also been taken to task for incessant lip-synching.

Yet, despite not having sung live since at least 1999, the star’s manager Larry Rudolph asserts that she will be belting legitimately when the two-year-residency (christened ‘Piece of Me’) kicks off in December.

The declaration came during an interview with Billboard, in which Rudolph elaborated on Spears’ vocal coaching (…), upcoming album, and rumours surrounding slow ticket sales.

While it isn’t always obvious to their fans, many an A-List act have made quite the habit of ‘pulling’ ideas from lesser known acts and passing them off as their own, with no real intention of crediting those lesser known acts.
